Maps,  plates,  charts,  etc.,  may  be  filmed  at 
different  reduction  ratios.  Those  too  large  to  be 
entirely  included  in  one  exposure  are  filmed 
beginning  in  the  upper  left  hand  corner,  left  to 
right  and  top  to  bottom,  as  many  frames  as 
required.  The  following  diagrams  illustrate  the 
method:

authonty,  wlicrc  satisfactory  information  i-nn  lie  olitaiinil,  is  nimli 
nop<l('(l.  This  hook  is  dcsi^'ncil  to  iiicct  as  far  as  possihlf,  in  one  of 
its  si/e,  this  want. 

So  far  as  1  am  awavc,  this  is  the  tirst  work  of  tlic  kind  i>uhlisli»'tl 
on  this  side  of  tli(>  Atlantic,  and  In-n^toforc,  merchants  have  hail  to  rely 
mainly  on  their  own  experience,  in  the  al»sence  of  any  convenient 
hook  of  reference  re.Lfardiii^',  their  ri<,d'.ls  and  lialiilities  in  resjxn't  f)f 
freigiitaud  cargo,  ^faster  mariners  have  Iteen  without  a  ready  guitle 
in  the  many  important  duties  belonging  to  their  ottice ;  seamen  have 
liad  no  convenient  means  of  learning  what  couhl  and  what  could  not 
he  expected  of  them,  how  they  were  to  collect  their  wages,  and  Avhat 
actions  on  their  parts  lost  them  their  wages  ;  and,  most  important  of 
all,  ship-owners,  who  are  frequently  n\erchants  engaged  in  other  call" 
ings,  have  had  to  dei)end  to  a  great  extent  on  masters,  agcMits  and 
otliers,  for  advice  concerning  their  vessel  pro)>erty. 

J  have  c(msulted  carefully  most  of  the  stan<lard  works  (in  shipi)ing, 
inchiding  ]\IacLachlan  on  Shipping,  Kay  on  Masters  and  Seamen, 
Ablwtt  on  Shipi)irg,  Holt's  Rule  of  the  Koad,  Foard's  ^lerchant  Ship- 
ping, Smitli's  ]\rercantile  Law,  and  others,  as  wcdl  as  the  reports,  and 
have  endeavoured  to  carefully  compile  from  them,  all  jtoints  hearing 
on  Maritime  interests. 

I  have  spared  no  pains  so  to  arrange  these  as  to  make  them  plain 
and  easy  of  reference,  and  to  make  the  hook  a  practical  and  useful 
work,  and  ones  of  benefit  to  the  extcjiisive  commenual  interests  of  the 
United  States  and  Canada.  Should  it  prove  to  be  so,  the  oliject  ot 
the  compiler  will  have  lieon  attained.

When  a  vessel  is  adveitiseil  iis  a  ueiieral  sliip  for  a  particular 
voyage;,  she  is  intended  foi'  a  miscellaneous  emgo  composed  ot'  the 
goods  of  any  person  that  ciiooses  to  ship,  and  the  freight  contract 
actually  made  is  usuiilly  with  llie  mast-i',  liiit  hotli  he  and  his 
owners  aru  seiiai'alely  liound  to  the  iieiforniance  of  it. 

The  seawoi'thiness  ol'  the  sliij)  is  iiluays  implied  in  evi^y  contract 
of  above  nature  and  daiMagrs  can  !»•  reco\cred  for  injuries  sustaini-d 
on  account  of  her  not  lieing  so.   (I'l) 

The  owner  of  a  general  ship  is  /hIiiki  J'lnii'  a  connnon  I'arrier  for 
hire,  and  for  loss  oi'  dimag''  of  goods  carried  hy  him  he  is  liable  in 
the  natui't>  of  an  insurer,  unless  such  liability  is  moditied  by  the 
contents  of  the  Bill  of  Lading.   ('J-'i) 

Bills  of  Lading  arc  lo  be  sigiH'd  l,y  ihr  maslci'  of  the  ship,  whether 
the  contract  is  l)y  chartei'  i'l  writing  oi'  otiierwise.    (:J7) 

Tho  usual  custoiii  is  foi-  the  Miaslcr,  mate  oi'  clerk,  or  jiei-sons 
chocking  the  goods  as  1 1  ley  ar'  s.'iil  alioard,  (o  gi\c  a  receipt  for 
same,  and  the  master,  om  such  icccipts  being  gi\en  u|i  t(»  him,  signs 
the  l>ills  of  Lading. 

Hills  of  Ladiiii'.  aie  generally  made  up  in  tliiee  parts  exactly  alike, 
all  thi'ce  of  whit  ii  aie  to  br  .-.i-ned  l,y  ijn'  master.  (  »iie  part  is  kept 
by  the  nuxster  ;  one  part  is  .>eiii  by  po.^t  to  the  consignee  of  the 
goods,  and  (he  third  is  kept  I'V  the  slii|i|iei'  of  the  goods.    -Jti

liohh'r.   (27) 

A  Hill  of  Ladiiijj;  is  an  a('knowl('(I<,'nicni  of  the  r<'cci|)(  of  ;,'oods 
mentioned  therein,  and  is  also  evidence  of  a  contract  to  carry  the 
same  safely  and  deliver  them  at  the  ])ort  of  destination  mentioned, 
to  the  person  or  his  assigns  upon  tin;  terms  mentioned  tlieiein.     (28) 

Where  there  is  a  dispute  ahout  the  tpiantity  or  condition  of  the 
goods,  or  if  th"  contents  of  liarnOs  oi-  ])acl<ages  are  mdcnown,  the; 
wording  of  the  Hills  of  Lading  shoidd  he  vaiit'd  to  correspond  before 
tlipy  are  signed.   (2'.)) 

When'  anything  is  deliver'MJ  to  a  pei.son  to  lie  cairied,  it  is  the 
duty  of  the  pei'son  receiving  it  to  ask  such  (picstions  as  may  be 
necessar\.  If  lie  does  not  and  there  is  no  fraud  to  make  the  thing

In  tli(!  case  of  goods  [JUt  aboard  a  siiip  without  the  knowledge  or 
consent  of  the  master  or  owners,  tin  master  upon  (leli\cry  of  them 
will  be  entitled  to  the  usual  freight  for  the  voyage. 

Masters  should  be  very  careful  not  to  sign  Hills  of  J.ading  when 
the  goo(is  mentioned  therein  have  not  iieen  received  on  board,  as, 
although  tluy  would  not  be  lialiKi  for  same  to  tlie  ownei"  of  the 
goods,  still  as  liy  the  custom  of  mei'chants,  a  l'>ill  of  Lading  when 
indorsed  and  d(,'liver(!d  to  a /»<//(/  //(//'  indorsee  for  value  passes  the 
property  in  tl.e  goods  mentioned   in    it,    an<l   such    indorsee    thereby 

acquires  an  insurable  interesi  (herein  and  u'ly  sell  the  goods  by

Tlu^  contract  is  transfei'red  with  the  j)i(>perty  by  indorsement  and 
delivery  of  a  Hill  ttf  Lailing.   (•">2) 

Wliere  there  is  manifestly  no  intention  to  transfer,  but  only  to 
give  an  authority  to  stop  the  goods  in  hv.imtn.   to  a   mere  agent  in

possession  of  an  indorsed  JJill  of  Lading,  sucli  agent  has  no  riglit  of 
action  to  ntcover  damages  for  breach  of  contract  or  for  ibc 
property.  (.'{;}) 

A  Bill  of  Lading  is  not  like  a  Itill  of  exdiange  or  proinisory  note, 
a  negotiable  instrument  which  passes  l»y  uwrv  delivery  to  a  bona  Jide 
holder  for  valuable  consideiation,  without  regard  to  th(^  title  of  th(? 
parti(!s  who  make  the  transfer. 

Although  the  shipper  may  have  indorsed  in  blank  a  bill  of  lading 
deliverable  to  his  a.ssigns,  a  subseijuent  bona  Jide  holder  for  value 
cannot  hold  it  as  against  the  shipper  if  it  be  stolen  from  him  or 
transferred  without  his  authority.   (.'U) 

The  omts  of  proof  hen  on  tin;  i)er.son  claiming  an  adver.se  right  to 
the  shipper  of  the  prop<!rty  in  the  bill  of  lading. 

The  liability  of  indorseis  on  bills  of  lading  ceases  as  soon  as  they 
liave  properly  indorsed  and  transferred  the;  same  to  a  bona  Jide  holder 
for  value,  and  it  is  only  the  last  holder  on  receijtt  of  the  goods  that 
may  sue  or  be  sued.  (S.")) 

The  words  "  or  o/(/e/',"  "  (ir  «.s.s(V/».s,"  must  be  used  to  tran.sfer  a 
legal  title  to  the  goods  by  the  bill  of  lading.   (.'56) 

Th(^re  can  b(^  no  complete  delivery  of  goods  until  they  are  ]ilaced 
under  the  dominion  and  control  of  the  penson  who  is  to  receive 
them.   (:37) 

The  master  should  see  in  (^acli  case  tliat  it  is  expressly  set  out  in 
the  bill  of  lading  how  and  to  whom  the  cargo  is  to  l)e  delivered,  and 
he  should  take  great  care  to  follow  all  the  stipulations  in  the  bill. 

Even  when  the  consignee  sends  his  own  vessel  or  one  chartered 
by  him  for  the  goods  and  they  are  delivered  on  board,  the  master  is 
still  bound  lo  delivei-  them  according  to  the  bill  of  lading.   (.IS) 

If  the  goods  are  stated  in  the  bill  of  lading  to  be  shipped  on  board 
a  steamship,  it  is  part  of  the  contract  that  the  principal  motive 
power  is  steam,  and  the  mere  u.sing  steam  as  an  aid  to  sails  will  not 
answer.   (39) 

Although  certain  perils  are  excepted  in  the  V)ill  of  lading,  it  is 
still  the  duty  of  the  master  and  crew  to   do   all  they   ran  to  guard

FREIGHTING. 


against  such  perils  by  all  reasonable  skill  and  care,  and  where  damage 
occurs  through  such  pcirils  but  on  account  of  the  negligence  or  fault 
of  the  master  or  owners,  the  owners  are  liable.  (4(») 

By  31  and  32  Vic.  0.  119,  S.  14,  it  is  enacted  that  "  Where  a 
company  by  through  booking  contracts  to  carry  any  animals,  lug- 
gage or  goods  from  place  to  place,  partly  by  railway  and  partly  by 
sea,  or  partly  by  canal  and  partly  by  sea,  a  condition  exempting  the 
company  from  liability  for  any  loss  or  ilamagc  which  may  arise 
during  the  carriage  of  such  animals,  luggage,  or  goods  by  sea  fi-om 
the  act  of  God,  the  Queen's  enemies,  t'lra,  accidents  from  machinery, 
boilers  and  steam,  and  all  and,  every  other  dangers  and  accidents  of 
the  seas,  rivers  and  navigation,  of  whatever  nature  and  kind  soever, 
shall,  if  published  in  a  con.spicuous  manner  in  the  office  where  such 
through  booking  is  effected,  and  if  printed  in  a  legible  manner  on 
the  receipt  or  freight  note  which  the  company  gives  for  such  animals, 
luggage  or  goods,  be  valid  as  jjart  of  the  contract  between  the  con- 
signor of  such  animals,  luggage  or  goods  and  the  company  in  the 
same  manner  as  if  the  company  had  signed  and  delivered  to  the 
consignor  a  bill  of  lading  containing  such  condition. 

"  For  the  purposes  of  this  s(;ction  the  word  "  company  "  includes 
the  owner.s,  lessees  or  managers  of  ;',ny  canal  or  other  inland 
navigation." 

Where  a  bill  of  lading  states  that  tlu^  deck  load  was  to  be  at  the 
risk  of  th(!  owner.s,  it  was  held  that  the  risk  was  to  be  that  of  the 
owners  of  the  goods,  not  the  owner  of  the  vessel.  (  H) 

Section  3,  chapter  19  of  33  Vict.  0.,  which  makes  a  bill  of  lading 
conclusive  evidence  of  the  shipment  of  the  goods  as  rei)resented 
therein  does  not  apply  to  cases  between  masteis  of  vessels  and 
owners  of  goodr,  but  onl}'  to  those  between  masters  and  consignees 
or  endorsees  of  bills  of  lading  for  value.  (42) 

The  Bill  of  Lading  Act,  33  Vic,  chap.  19,  does  not  apparently 
create  any  estoppel  as  to  the  condition  in  which  goods  are  when 
shipj^ed.  (43) 

When  a  bill  of  exchange  wa.s  .sent  to  a  certain  bank  for  collection 
and  remittance,  and  a  bill  of  lading  for  10,000  bushels  of  wlieat  was 


BILU;  OF  LADINC;. 


17 


scut  with  same,  liokl  that  the  bank  acted  properly  in  giving  up  the 
bill  of  lading  to  the  consignees,  they  being  the  drawees  of  the  bill  of 
exchange  and  having  accepted  .sain*;.  .Special  instructions  to  retain 
the  bill  of  lading  until  the  1)111  of  excliahge  was  paid,  should  have 
been  sent  if  such  was  desired.   (14) 

The  following  form,    with  slight  changes  to  suit  each  particular 
case,  will  answer  for  most  lUll.s  of  Lading  :

((I  canv  till'  cai'.no  stijnilatcd  for  in  tlir  cliaitfi-itartv.  This  duty  rests 
upon  a  fiiiidaim'iitr.l  ]irinei|i|e  of  all  law.   (1) 

It  is  sti]»ulated  for  in  the  usual  form  of  thai'ter-)tarty. 

It  is  an  express  (.'ondition  of  the  ordinary  hill  of  lading. 

It  is  implied  at  eonimon  law  in  every  eontract  to  earry  for  hire, 
only  not  as  a  condition  ]ireeedent. 

\Vh»'re  a  master  stipulated  in  the  Itill  of  ladiiij^  "not  to  he  aeeount- 
ahle  for  leakage  or  hreakai^'e,"  it  was  nevertheless  held  that  he  was 
liahle  for  loss  liy  those  means  thvoULfh  neifligelK-e,   ('_*) 

The  general  lule  with  re^^ard  to  tim  duties  of  the  charterer  and 
ship  owner  is  thi't  the  one  must  otter  a  reasonahle  cargo  of  tlie  kind 
specified  in  tln^  charter,  and  the  other  must  provide  a  ship  reasonably 
fit  to  carry  such  cargo.  (3) 

If  tlie  owner  or  master  contracts  to  lie  ready  at  a  certain  time  to 
receive  cargo,  this  condition  includes  tlu^  seawortliiness  of  the  hull, 
the  state  of  the  hold  being  projier,  and  a  sufficient  mnnber  of  otficei-s 
and  crew  on  boartl  to  receive  the  goods  and  take  care  of  tlunu  when 
received,  and  this  within  the  time  mentioned.  (4) 

The  manner  of  taking  goods  on  hoard  and  the  commencement  of 
the  master's  duty  in  this  respect  depend  oi'   tli(f   custom   of  the  par-

In  the  case  of  vessels  trailing  on  the  lakes,  the  usual  custom  where 

the  ^oods  are  coarse  and  ahle  to  he    handled    hy    the    crew,    is    for  th(^ 

shipiter  to  ]>lace  them  on  the  rail  <>f  the  vessel   ami   the  slii[»  owner  or 

master  to  receive  them  there  and  remove  them  to  their  laoper  storing,' 
Itiace. 

There  are,  hitwever,  a  j;reat  many  dilh'reiit  customs  in  diHeroiit 
trades.     1  mention  a  few  here:

I'ackagc  freight  generally  received  on  the  wharf  and  placed  on  tlic 
M'liarf  hy  the  ship  owner  and  master. 

Cedar  i)osts  and  ties  of  all  kinds  are  usually  received  and  delivered 
on  the  rail  hy  the  master. 

Notwitlustanding  the  ahove  customs,  however,  there  are  so  many 
local  castonis  jm'vailing  at  diH'ereiit  ports  and  in  diU'erent  trades,  that 
it  is  always  hetttn'  for  the  full  bargain  to  he  made  at  the  time  of

Hanie  trade  and  prepare  immediately  to  deliver  the  cargo  to  tlii^  prison 
entitled  to  receive  it,  who  is  the  lawful  holder  of  the  hill  of  lading, 
heing  the  consignee  named  therein,  or  liis  assignee,  under  a  proper 
indorsement  of  the  hill  df  lading.  ('M) 

The  master  is  not  expected  to  determine  such  a  diHiciilt  ipiestion 
as  who  is  the  legal  owner  of  a  hill  of  lailiiig,  and  if  a  liill  of  lading  in 
proper  form  is  presented  to  him  at  the  port  of  discharge,  he  is  justihed 
in  giving  up  the  cargo  to  the  holder. 

Where  two  hills  of  lading  are  preseiitetl  hy  ditlerent  parties  and 
the  niasttu'  is  in  douht  what  course  to  taJ<e,  he  ought  to  take  a  hond 
of  indemnity  from  the  holder  to  whom  he  means  to  deliver  the 
cargo.  (HH) 

t'nder  ordinary  cin'Uiiistaiices  delivery  is  iimde  only  upon  payment 
of  freight  ami  other  charges  ini'ideiit  to  the  conveyance  of  the  cargo. 

AVliere  the  owners  of  a  ship  let  her  to  another  for  a  certain  period 
or  voyage,  and  the  latter  carries  cargo  for  third  parties,  the  owner  of 
tli(^  shi])  has  no  lien  on  the  cargo  for  his  hire,  that  heing  suju^rseded 
by  the  lien  of  the  second  i»arty,  and  even  in  such  a  case  wlieii  thi- 
jMtssession  of  tln^  ship  is  in  tim  owner's  liamls,  they  may  liave.  given 
u|»  their  lien  hy  expross  agnM'nient  in  the  (tharter  as  to  paynnuit.   (39) 

The  master  may  detain  the  whole,  or  any  jiart  of  the  mercliandi.se, 
for  the  freight  t»f  all  that  is  received  on  hoard  under  one  contract,  anti 
cunsigiiod  to  th<".  Hanie  jterson.  (40) 

Whure  goods  of  tlie.sanie  owner  are  sent  in  the  same  .ship  unch'r  difl'er-

"When;  th<'re  is  u  known  custom  of  the  ]iort,  or  a  statutory  re;,'uhi- 
tion  al)out  the  suecession  of  turns  for  loadinjf,  or  otherwise,  and 
nothin;^  ajtiiears  in  the  eontraet  eontrary  t(»  same,  thi- merchant  is  not  to 
Ithime  for  (h'lay,  ]»rovided  the  vessel  is  loacK'd  accttrdinj^  to  the  custom 
or  reguhition.  (5(1) 

Where  there  is  (h'hiy  caused  hy  a  circumstance  whicli  was  known 
to  1)oth  parties  at  the  time,  they  are  presumed  hy  law  to  contract 
with  reference  to  such  (;ircumstance,  and  allowance  for  delay  is  made 
a<M!ordingly.  For  instan(te,  a  strike  among  the  stevedores,  or  in  a  coal 
mine,  etc.,  etc.  AVhere,  however,  delay  is  caused  by  circinnstances 
arising  since  the  contract  was  iiiatle,  and  not  ]»rovided  for  in  it,  the 
parties  are  hound  to  perform  their  contract  within  a  reasitnahle 
time.  (57) 

Tt  is  the  duty  of  the  tnerchant  to  procure  any  license  or  permit 
which  is  required  before  the  cargo  can  he  ohtained,  and  unless  pro- 
vided for  in  the  (lontract  the  sul)se(|uent  impiissil)ility  of  doing  so  is 
no  excuse  for  n(jt  performing  his  contract.  (58) 

The  words  "a  full  and  complete  cargo"  do  not  entitle  the  merchant 
to  fill  th((  cabin  or  load  the  tleck,  ludess  in  either  (!ase  there  is  a  usage 
or  stipulation  allowing  him  to  do  so.  (fiO) 

The  deck,  of  coui'se,  must  not  lie  loaded  in  any  .season  of  the  year 
that  deckdoading  is  illegal.  Where  the  merchant  tills  the  cabin  with- 
out leave  or  license  of  any  kind,  the  rate  of  freight  is  a  ipiestion  for 
the  jury  and  is  not  to  l)e  guaged  by  the  rate  in  the  charter.   (61) 

A  merchant  who  charters  a  whole  ship  under  contract  to  provide  a 
full  and  complete  cargo,  is  bound  to  load  a  full  cargo,  even  if  the 
vessel  prove  to  be  larger  than  the  representations  made  of  her  size  in 
the  charter-party,  i»rovided  such  excess  is  not  unreasonable    (62) 

The  merchant  is  bound  to  give  the  master  noti(^e  of  the  dangerous 
character  of  an}'  goods  which  lie  intends  to  sliip,  ludess  they  are  o)>eu 
to  inspection  and  consist  of  articles  which  are  commonly  known  to

Th«  amount  of  freight  for  which  a  master  may  enforce  his  lien  is 
prima  facie  that  mentioned  in  tlic  hills  of  ladiu),;.  Where  however, 
the  charter  (contains  a  hif,'her  rate  than  that  in  the  hills  of  ladiu),',  the 
rate  in  the  charter  is  (o  he  taken,  ])rovided  the  persun  ln>lilinjij  the 
hills  of  ladin«f  and  entitled  to  the  carf;o  had  notice  of  the  same.  (5(») 

A  bona  Jiih  xuihntn'v  of  a  hill  of  ladinj;  who  receives  it  without 
fraud,  or  notice  of  other  freij^ht  to  he  ]>aid  upon  it,  is  entitled  to  the 
(!argo  on  i)aym(>nt  of  th(>  frei^;ht  in  the  hill  of  ladin;;,  and  where  he 
lakes  it  with  the  understanding  that  the  freij,dit  has  hccn  paid,  sauie 
havin;,'  heen  mentioned  in  the  hills  nf  ladiujL,',  the  ship-owner  is  nut 
entitled  to  show  that  in  fact  it  has  not  hcen  paid.   (57) 

The  lien  on  ijoods  in  a  i.;eneral  ship  for  the  l)ill  of  lading  frcij^ht  is 
the  same  whether  the  hill  of  lading  is  afterwards  endorsed  to  a.  third 
jterson  for  valuahle  consideration,  or  tlu^  goods  are  delivere(l  to  the 
original  ci>nsignc(>.  (5S) 

The  following  clauses  in  hills  of  lailing.  "on  i)aymcnt  of  freight  as 
per  charter-]nirtv,"  or  "  they  i)aying  freight  for  the  .siid  goods  as  per

indorse*'  in  the  latter  case  having  knowledge  of  the  charter,)  all  give

The  clause  "without  prejudice  to  the  charter-party"  does  not  hind 
the  holder  of  the  hill  of  lading  to  pay  freight  according  to  siu'h  char- 
ter-party, hut  merely  reserves  the  ship-owner's  right  against  thc^ 
charterer  if  the  master  signs  hills  of  lading  for  a  less  rate  than  that  in 
the  charter.  (60) 

By  full  delivery  of  the  goods  without  payment  the  lien  is  gone,  hut

a  )»ill  iif  exehaiii^e,  lias  the  same  efl'eet,  uidess  theio  is  an  agreement 
to  the  contrary.  (02)  , 

liut  a  hill  of  exchange  taken  for  freij^ht  is  only  conditional  pay- 
ment uidesH  accepted  as  completo  satisfaction,  alth()ii<,li  it  end.s  tlie 
lien  and  suHpend.4  the  rij,'ht  to  stie  until  it  in  due.  (6.'i) 

Where  the  owner,  or  the  master  if  he  is  .so  authorized,  prefers  u  hill 
of  exchanges  when  he  might  have  had  caHh,  delivery  of  th(!  hill  to

When  payment  is  to  he  hy  hill  of  excliang*^  it  is  the  master's  duty  t(» 
draw  and  present  the  hill  for  acceptance,  and  if  he,  refu.soH  to  draw,  an 
otter  to  acccfpt  is  (^videnc*;  of  a  good  tender  of  the  freight.  (C))

party,  is  not  sucli  an  advance,  aijd  is  not  iii.surable  and  may  he  re-

Any  advance  hy  way  of  freight  to  the  ship-(»wner  retains  the  in- 
cidents of  freight-risk  and  contingency  as  between  the  charterer  and 
tlie  unch'rwriters.  (6H) 

In  the  United  States  the  rule  is  that  when;  freight  is  advanced, 
but  for  reasons  not  chargahlo  against  the  merchant  is  not  earned.,  it 
may  be  recovered  back,  unless  there  is  an  agreement  to  the 
contrary.  (69) 

Loss  of  goods  acknowledged  to  have  Ijeen  received  in  the  bill  of 
lading,  or  damage  to  goods  not  covered  by  the  excepted  perils,  cannot 
bo  j)leade<l  in  btir,  or  by  way  of  set-off  to  on  action  for  freight.  (70)

A  master  is  not  l»oun«l  to  re|»air  i;oo«ls  on  the  way  hut  if  necessary 
he  should   op**n  the   pacrkai^cs    for    the    purpose   of    ventilation,  and

Wher(^  a  master  is  ordered  by  a  hiiri>or  rnaslir,  or  other  person  in

Where  a  voyaj^'e  is  defeated  Ity  fault  in  I  hi-  carj,'o  the  master 
must  act  as  a  prudent  and  careful  man  would  think  best  for  tlie

DKML'KKACIK. 

There  is  always  in  every  cliaiter  a  fixod  or  reasoiial>le  time  to 
load  and  to  dischari^e,  and  for  the  (K-lay  of  the  siii|»  heyond  this  time 
without  the  fault  of  the  master,  he  is  entitled  to  comiieiisation  which, 
when  fixed  by  contract,  is  called  demurrage. 

Usually  the  charter  fixes  the  nuudter  of  lay-days  and  the  amount 
per  day  to  be  charge<l  for  dtJinurrage  thereaftei',  hut  if  the;  form(;r  is 
omitted  the  law  implies  a  stipulation  for  a  reasonable  time,  taking 
into  account  the  trade  and  the  port  the  vessel  is  in.   ( 1 ) 

The  law  allows  damages  for  any  delay  longes*  than  the  .s*t  lay-days 
or  the  reasonable  time  implied,  wlu^never  such  delay  is  attributable 
to  the  ship-owner  or  his  agents.   {'2) 

It  is  no  excuse  for  the  merchant  that  the  time  has  been  lost 
through  ignorance  of  the  ship's  arrival  as  In;  is  bound  to  watch  for 
it,  and  is  not  entitled  to  notice.  (."{) 

Wher(f  however,  the  delay  is  caused  by  the  master  or  ship-owner, 
■whether  it  be  bj'  his  neglect  or  inability  to  get  clearance  ])apers,  or 
by  the  state  of  the  weather  or  (lamag<'d  condition  (tf  the  vt^ssel,  the 
merchant  is  not  liable.  (4) 

An  assignee  of  a  bill  of  iading  is  liable  for  demurrage  caused  by 
his  fault  on  nu'eipt  of  the  goods  if  the,  bill  of  lading  expressly  makes 
them  dtiliverable  on  jiayment  of  same,  evt;n  where  he  denies  his 
liability  for  demurrage  at  tin;  time  he  receives  th(!  goods  (f)).  It  is 
a  question  whether  he  would  be  also  liiible  for  demurrage  at  the  port 
of  lading.   (G) 


DEMTTRRAGE. 


91 


If  tlio  bill  of  lading;  niakos  the  <j;oo(l.s  deliverable  on  payment  of 
(lemiiirago  as  per  diartur,  or  "of  the  agreed  freight  ami  other  con- 
ditions as  j)er  charter,"'  or  "of  so  much  per  day  after  a  certain  time," 
it  is  good  evidence  of  the  assignee's  liahility  for  demurrage  incurred 
through  his  fault  (7).  The  words  "paying  for  the  said  goods  as  per 
charter  with  primage  and  av<'rage  accustonnid,"  refer  only  to  freif,ht 
and  not  to  demurrage.  (S) 

IS  anil  19  Vict,  C.  Ill,  transf(>rs  the  rights  and  liabilities  of  the 
contract  in  the  bill  of  lading  to  i'ue  consignee  or  indorsee,  and  vests 
the  same  in  him  as  if  the  contnu't  had  been  made  witli  himself. 


Where  (here  is  nothing  in  the  bill  of  lading  in  reference  to  de. 
murrage  which  would  amount  to  evidence  of  a  contract,  the  master 
has  no  light  of  action  against  the  cdnsignee  or  indorsee  for  demuirage 
in  consftpumce  of  his  receijit  of  the  goods  thereunder.   (9) 

In  reckoning  time  for  demurrage  days  and  itrxMX(i  days  mean 
the  same  thing,  /  c.  without  excepting  holidays  (1(1)  in  case  of  a  usage 
or  ])eculiar  custom  to  thi'  contrary  it  is  diH'erent.   (11) 

The  time  by  law  begins  to  run  on  the  arrival  of  the  ship  at  the 
usual  or  mentioned  plack  ok  DisciiAiuii';  in  the  I'OKT  of  dkstination, 
if  there  is  nothing  in  the  contract  to  the  contrary.  (12) 


The  parties  are  of  couise  bound   l»y   their   contract    if  they    have 
tixed  a  certain  period  from     which     tl       demurrau'e    is    to 
running.  (l;5) 


demurrage 


legm 


A  charter  signed  by  both  parties  with  the  knowledge  that  the 
loading  machinery  is  under  repair  is  satistied  in  the  absence  of 
agreement  as  to  time,  if  the  loading  machinery  begins  to  work  with- 
in a  reasonable  tim(i  after  the  charter  is  made,  and  the  vessel  is 
loaded  in  a  icasonable  time  after  such  comnumcenujut.   (1  \) 

If  the  parti(*s  contract  without  notice  of  existing  impediments  and 
do  not  bargain  against  them,  the  freighter  is  lialtle  for  unreasovable 
delay.  (15) 

Wliere  the  whole  voyagt?  has  been  prevented,  th(>  action  should 
be  for  damages  for  non-performance  of  tlie  charter  contract  and  not 
one  for  demurrage.  (16)

DEAIURRACJK. 


Whore  jdirnsrs  a])poaf  in  a  cliartcr  or  l»ill  of  ladiiif^  wiil^  a  pojuliar 
8(^1180  derived  from  tlie  ciistoiii  of  mcrcliaiitH,  or  tlu!  usaj^c  of  a  par- 
ticular port,  or  thii  special  trade  in  ((uestioii,  evidence  is  adinissabh; 
to  explain  tlieni.   (17) 

The  former  rules  reapectiny  (lemuiTa;^<>  are  all  (ii  the  assumption 
that  one  freiu;hti>r  has  loaded  the  ship. 

Jn  the  case  of  a  jneneral  ship  where  there  are  a  nund)er  of  freight 
ers,  eacii  of  whom  has  contracted  to  pay  a  «er!ain  latt*  per  Jieiii 
demurrage  after  a  given  day,  the  rule  generally  received  as  the 
only  one  sanctioned  liy  legal  principle  is  that  the  strict  legal  in- 
terpretation of  the  terms  of  the  (rontiact  should  govrii.  Therefore, 
each  party  must  pay  the  full  rate  he  has  contracted  to  ])ay  for  the 
full  time  the  demurrage  runs.    (IS) 

Lord  Tenderden,ho\ve\  er,\vho  was  of  opinion  that  if  a  consignee  can 
not  get  his  goods  liecause  some  other  pei'son's  goods  pi'cvent  him  he  is 
not  liable  for  the  delay  of  the  vessel  dinsi  iited  from  the  ab«)ve 
roll.   (19) 

Where  a  ship  is  delayed  after  being  loaded  by  ice  or  bad  weather 
the  freighter  is  not  liable  for  <lemuriag(^  for  such  delay.   ("JO) 

Sundays  are  counted  in  demurrage  unless  there  is  a  custom  or 
bad-gain  to  the  contrary.   (iM) 

Where  the  delay  is  caused  by  the  customs  otlic«M''s  wrongful  act 
or  by  the  crowded  state  of  the  docks,tlie  fceighter  is  not  ex«'used.(.'5.'{) 

Where  nothing  is  said  about  the  deniuirage  in  the  bill  of  lading, 
the  cargo  is  to  be  received  within  a  rea.sonable  time  and  as  a  g(!nerai 
rule  the  consignors  are  under  the  above  circumstancuH  the  proper 
persons  to  be  sued.  ('2'-^) 

A  master  who  after  being  notified  that  another  vessel  is  ready  to 
proceed  to  sea,  will  not  move  out  of  her  way  to  let  her 
pass  and  so  obstruct  the  stream  for  an  unseasonable  length  of  time 
is  liable.   (24) 

Demurrage  is  allowed  to  the  owners  of  a  ship  damaged  by 
collision  during  the  time  that  she  has  been   necessarily  delayed  re-

CHAPTER  III. 


PART  III. 


(iKNKHAI,    AVKKACii:. 

Where  a  vessel  with  a  cargo  is  in  iininincnt  danger  of  being 
lost  and  a  jiart  of  tlie  property  is  sacrificed  for  tlie  j)urposo  of  j>re- 
serving  the  remainder,  all  must  combine  to  pay  for  tlie  loss.  This 
is  known  as  general  average. 

To  justify  gejiei-al  average,  the  ship  and  cargo  must  be  in  such 
danger  of  being  lost  that  a  skilled  mariner  of  good  judgment  be- 
lieves that  to  save  any  part  li»^  must  sacrifici^  the  rest,  and  in  such 
a  position  it  is  the  master's  duty  to  rnakt;  such  sacrifice.  The 
sacrifice  being  intentional  and  deliberate,  an  act  of  the  elements 
will  not  anicunt  to  a  general  average.  For  example  whe>v  a  master 
to  prevent  total  loss  throws  part  of  of  tin;  v^'argo  oveiboard  or  cuts 
away  the  masts  it  i.s  general  average.  But  where  the  storm  or  a 
collision  effects  the  same  thing  as  by  washing  overboard  cargo  or 
otherwise,  it  is  not  a  general  average  loss. 

The  act  done  to  be  a  general  average  one  must  not  come  within  the 
.scope  of  the  ordinary  duties  of  tlu^  ship-owner  or  master.  Foi-  exam- 
pie,  where  a  ship  carries  on  a  press  of  can  /ass  to  escape  from  danger 
and  she  sustains  damage  in  the  hull,  rigging  or  otherwise  in  conse- 
quence, this  is  not  the  subject  of  general  average,  as  it  was  the 
ma.ster's  duty  under  the  charter  to  do  so.  (1)  Where  a  master 
hires  extra  hands  to  work  the  pumps  to  prevent  the  ship  from 
sinking,  he  is  entitled  to  general  average.     (2) 

The  act  performed  to  rank  as  general  average  must  be  done  for 
the  good  of  the  whole,  and  therefore  when  anything  is  thrown 
overboard  for  its  own  specific  safety  and  not  for  the  purpose  of 
assisting  to  save  the  rest  the  loss  is  not  a  general  average  one    (3)

GENERAL  AVERAGE. 


Por  nil  act  to  Itc  allowed  as  i^'cnoral  avcrai^f  it,  is  not  nooosHavy 
that  succf'ss  slioultl  !>'  lonvrd  to  liav(!  followcil  it  as  a  uatii  al 
eonH('(|U((iico. 

The  safety  of  the  whole  ship  ami  <'ari,'o  iiinst  lie  in  iiiiine<Jiat(f 
danger  to  justify  general  averaj^e  acts,  and  therefore  casting  away 
part  to  merely  jirevent  a  threatened  jiartial  loss  is  not  within  a 
master's  duty  and  lie  has  no  such  powor. 

ft  is  the  master's  duty  in  case  of  a  general  avi'rage  loss  to  draw 
uj)  an  account  of  same  as  soon  as  he  reaches  )iort,  and  this  stat*-- 
ment  must  he  sworn  to  l»y  himself  and  two  or  three  of  the  most 
prominent  of  his  crew. 

Where  an  act  comes  under  all  the  before  mentioned  ie(|uiie"nonts 
of  goiuu-al  average,  the  master  is  the  agent  of  the  merchant  or  jierson 
whose  property  is  destroyi'd  foi- the  j)urpose  of  such  destruction  or 
jettison,  and  the  merdiant  is  entitled  to  a  contribution  from  the 
other  owners  to  help  rephkce  his  loss.   (.'?  k) 

Cargo  stowed  on  deck  and  jettisoned  is  not  a  good  foundation  for 
a  general  average  claim  unless  it  is  a  usage  of  tlii'  traile  to  carry 
similar  deck  cargoes,  or  unless  it  is  s])eiially  .so  agreed  before  liand.(l) 

Under  the  Tnited  States  laws  the  rule  is  not  to  a))]ily  general 
average  to  the  loss  of  detk  cargoes,  as  the  owners  of  the  cargo  under 
cover  ought  not  to  contribute  for  the  loss  of  goods  on  deck,  even 
where  it  is  the  usage  of  the  trade  to  carry  cargo  on  deck,  (f)) 

Where  a  ship  is  stranded,  or  in  danger  of  sinking,  or  is  too  deep 
in  the  water  to  enter  a  port  of  distress,  and  goods  are  unloaded  into 
boats  or  otherwise,  or  menily  removed  from  their  former  place  of 
safety  for  the  ))urpose  of  relieving  the  ship  in  such  distress  and  are 
in  consecjuence  lost,  it  is  a  general  average  loss,  (fi) 

Where  part  of  a  ship','.  ai»parcl  is  sacrificed  for  the  safety  of  the 
ro.st  of  the  \enture,  this  is  a  general  averag(i  loss.  For  t.xample, 
where  masts  or  sails  are  cut  away  to  relieve  a  ship,  or  where  a  cable 
is  cut  to  save  a  vessel  from  getting  on  shore,  and  in  fact  any  case  in 
which  articles  are  used  for  othtu-  than  their  [iropor  sf^rvices  for  a 
common  benefit  and  are  lost  in  consec^uenco.    (7)

Where  a  ship  is  voluntarily  stranded  to  escape  destruction  and  is 
afterwards  saved,  tlie  damages  ire  considered  as  coming  under  the 
1,'eneral  avc^rage  law.  (!i) 

Where  a  ship  is  so  badly  injured  as  to  l>e  forced  for  the  common 
safety  to  deviate  from  her  \oyage  in  order  to  rej)air  at  a  port  of 
distress,  tlie  expens(!s  of  entering  the  jiort,  such  as  pilotage,  towage 
wlien  disabled,  dues  and  other  intlispensiblc  expenses  and  tlie  ex- 
penses of  unloading  the  cargo  when  unloaded  for  the  sake  of  both 
ship  and  cargo,  all  come  undi'r  the  gijiieral  average  law.  (10)  Such 
is  not  the  case  where  tlu;  unloading  was  merely  for  th<>  ]»urpose  of 
pri'serviif*g  the  cargo,  or  wh<'ie  ship's  stores  are  unloaded  after  tho 
cargo  is  out.  (11)  And  the  expense  for  storing  the  cargo  comes 
out  of  the  cargo  and  tho.se  for  out  ])ort  charges  and  expenses  of 
reloading  on  the  freight.  (12)  There  is  a  doubt  as  to  whether 
reloading  is  u  general  average  expen.se  or  not.   (I. "5) 

lt<'|»airs  done  to  a  ship  where  the  injury  to  be  i-epaired  is  not 
the  result  of  a  voluntary  and  intentional  .sacrifice  for  the  good  of 
all  are  to  be  paid  for  by  the  sliip  owner.   (1  1) 

All  the  extra  «!xpenses  incurred  by  tlie  deviation  in  the  voyage 
for  tlie  wages  and  keep  of  the  crew  are  the  subject  of  general  average 
if  the  repairs  are  too.  (15)  In  .some  of  the  States  the  law  allows 
the  two  latter  expens(>s  as  general  average  whether  the  n-pairs  are 
so  allowed  or  not.   ( 1  (i ) 

Salvage  and  extra  help  altsolutely  necessary  when  both  .ship  and 
cargo  are  running  the  same  peril  and  arc;  rescued  by  such  means 
come  under  the  geneial  averairi;  head.  (17)  Otherwise  where  tlie 
services  itc,  rendered  are  wholly  foi-  the  benefit  of  the   vessel.   (18) 

If  the  sacrifice  Im  without  referonct^  to  the  general  good  although 
the  danger  be  common,  as  for  instance  when  goods  are  thrown  into 
the  sea  with  the  object  of  saving  tlieni  ultimately,  or  ju'cventing 
tlieiu   reaching  otlier  hands,  this  Is  not  general  average.  (19)

repairs  of  such  must  all  be  borne  by  the  shi|»  owner  or  his  in- 
surer. (L'O) 

As  a  i^eneral  rule  damages  sustained  by  an  accidental  collision, 
or  from  beiny  olili<,'e(l  to  run  out  to  sea  to  save  beini,'  cast  on  a  loo 
shore  are  not  within  the  general  average  rule,  ("21) 

Wages  and  keep  of  a  crew  while  the  ship  is  undergoing  necessary 
repairs  during  the  voyage  or  whilst  she  is  in  <|uarantine  in  the 
ordinary  course,  or  wind-bound,  ice-bound  or  the  like  in  a  place  she 
was  not  forced  to  make  for  out  of  the  ordinary  course  of  the  voyage 
for  the  connnon  benefit  are  not  the  subject  of  general  average.  The 
same  rub;  holds  wh«'re  she  goes  into  a  way-port  for  supplies,  water 
or  pro\ision8.  (21.') 

Tliese  losses  are  as  a  general  rule  part  of  the  ship  owner's  duty 
under  ordinary  contracts,  even  when  occurring  under  unusual  cir- 
cumstance.s,  and  although  the  master  is  forced  to  sell  j)art  of  the 
cargo  to  nuH't  them  the  ship  must  pay  the  whole  lo.ss.   (L*.'i) 

The  property  to  contribute  is  all  that  which  ran  the  risk  and 
shared  in  the  ln-nefit,  including  that  thrown  overboard  and  also  the 
freight  on  all  the  cargo.  This  rule,  therfore,  only  excludes  goods 
or  things  which  were  either  discharged  before  the  danger  or  shipped 
after  same  was  o\er. 

The  cargo  contributes  according  to  its  value,  not  weight,  but  the 
apparel,  personal  jewelry  and  baggage  of  the  passengers  do  not 
contriljute.  (24) 

Deck  loads  always  have  to  contribute,  but  can  very  seldom  claim 
for  a  general  average  loss.   (2')) 

The  ship  of  course  contributes  and  also  all  freight  which  is 
directly  benetitted,  including  fi-eight  on  the  goods  for  loss  of  which 
contribution  is  made. 

The  value  of  the '  articles  contributing  in  general  average  are 
ascertained  as  follows  :

There  are  two  excei»tions  to  the;  rule  that  deitk  carg(»  jettis(»ned  is 
not  entitled  to  general  average  contribution,  namely  :  In  the  case  of

Under  a  stipulation  in  a  charter  that  "  the  deck  cargo  if  any  is  to

hands  of  the  purchaser.  (7) 

W'lmre  a  conditional  euilorsement  be  made  ))y  the  seller,  a  second

STOPl'AfiE  IN  THAX.SITU — UNDER    WHAT   (IRlUMHTANCES. 

Where  a  V)ill  of  lading  is  endorsed  in  blank  <»r  s])ecially,  but 
delivered  to  the  i»uichaser  conditionally,  a  bona  tide  purcha-ser  without 
notice  only  tcakes  the  rights  the  original  holder  possessed.  (9) 

Where  a  second  h(»lder  takes  a  Itill  of  lading  for  the  purpose  of 
fraudulently  ])reventing  the  seller  getting  his  rights  (connected  there- 
with, such  holder  stands  in  the  same  position  as  the  first  holder.  (10) 

An  old  <lebt  due  to  the  assignee  by  the  purchaser  is  not  sufficient 
consideration  to  take  away  a  sellers'  right  of  stoppage.  (11) 

A  mortgage  of  the  go<»ds  or  a  pledge  thereof  by  the  purchaser  does 
not  take  away  the  s«dler's  right  of  stoppage;  ;  (12)  neither  does  the 
carrier's  lien  on  the  goods  as  against  the  purchaser  (13) ;  nor  the  fact 
that  the  goods  have  been  seized  under  a  foreign  attachment.  (14) 

The  pun^haser's  transfer  of  a  shipping  note,  or  delivery  order,  to  a 
third  person  for  value  (15)  ;  or  th<'  endorsement  of  the  bill  of  lailing 
for  value  to  one  with  notice  of  the  (^nthu'sers  involved  circumstances 
will  not  take  away  the  right  of  stopj'Oge  in  transitu.  (16) 

Stoppage  in  Transitu  must  be.  of  the  goods  while  i:i  transitu. 
The  transit  commences  the  moment  the  goods  leave  the  possessirm  of 
the  seller,  and  ceases  the  moment  the  goods  reach  the  possessicm  of 
the  purchaser.     Such  jmssc^ssion  may  be  either  actiial  or  consti'uctive. 

The  possession  of  tlie  purchaser  must  be  with  the  consent  of  the 
seller,  and  it  is  often  a  most  ditlicidt  ipiestion  to  decide  whether  such

the 
such 


cciii.sent  was  ;,'ivi'n,  ami  whether  the  )M»ssession  of  the  imii-haser  was  ti> 
be  absohitely  or  eonditioiially,  especially  where  the,  <;oi»(ls  in  (luestioii 
have  not  l)een  moved  from  their  Hrst  position,  and  the  hitentioii  of 
the  ])arties  is,  of  eourse,  on  what  the  whole  ipiestion  depends.   (17) 

It  is  a  ;,'eneral  rule  that  so  lon^f  as  anythin<^f  remains  to  be  d(me  in 

order  to  put  the  <,'oods  in  a  condition  for  delivery,  or  to  ascertain  by 

quantity  the  gt)ods  to  be  delivered,  possession  cannot  have  bcien  trans- 
ferred. 

Where  a  warehouse  man  receives  an  or<ler  to  wei^^h  or  nu-asure 
certain  <,foods  and  tleliver  them  to  th"  ;»urchaser,  the  mere  transfer  in 
the  wareh(»use  man's  b(»oks  is  not  suiHcient  to  transfer  j)ossession  to 
the  purchaser,  the  jfoods  must  be  Hrst  weijjjhed  or  measureil  according 
to  the  delivery  order.  (1)S) 

Where,  however,  the  weighing  or  measuring  is  merely  for  the  pur- 
chaser's convenience,  it  is  not  a  condition  )»recedent  to  the  transfer  of 
the  possession.  (19) 

Where  goods  are  on  lioard  asliip,  they  are  in  reality  out  of  the  pos- 
session of  the  seller,  but  by  the  conditions  in  the  bill  of  lading  the 
seller  may  still  control  the  goods  until  certain  conditions  in  the  bill 
are  fulKlled  ;  and  such  is  the  case  even  where  the  ship  belongs  to  the 

purchaser,  as  the  seller  may  ajipoint  the  »;aptain  his  agent  in  the 
matter.  (20) 

Where  the  goods  are  received  on  b<»ard  a  vessel,  chartered  by  the 
purchaser,  the  lull  of  la<ling  deliverable  to  order  being  endorsed  to 
him  and  a  bill  of  exchange  for  the  goods,  accepted  by  the  purchaser, 
the  seller  nevertheless  has  his  right  of  stoppage  in  transitu.  (21) 

When  the  master  or  mate  refuses  to  sign  a  leceijit  or  a  })ill  of  lad- 
ing, as  re<[uired  by  the  seller,  the  hitter's  right  of  stojiitage  still 
remains.  (22) 

A  delivery  once  (complete  cannot  be  changed  by  the  seller,  even 
where  he  fraudulently  obtains  a  different  bill  of  latling  from  the 
master.  (23) 

A  seller  may  give  up  possession  of  part  and  still  retain  his  right  of 
stoppage  over  the  balance.  (24)

PART  I.— COLLISIONS. 

AVhcro  tliG  innstiM'  of  a  sliip  takes  all  such  precautions  us  a  man  of 
ordinary  pnulenco  ami  skill,  exercising  reasonal)le  foresight,  would 
iise  to  escape  danger,  his  owners  will  not  be  responsible  because  he 
may  have  omitted  some  possible  precaution  which  the  event  suggests 
he  might  have  resorted  to.  (1) 

A  schnoner  close  hauled  on  the  starboard  tack  at  night,  saw  the 
green  light  and  two  towing  lights  of  a  steam-tug  three  points  on  her 
port  ))ow  about  a  mile  ofl'.  The  schooner  kept  her  luff.  The  tug 
had  a  fully  laden  ship  in  tow  and  was  steaming  against  a  head  sea  in 
open  water,  and  she  kept  her  course  until  too  late  to  get  out  of  the 
schooner's  way  and  the  tug  and  the  schooner  came  into  collision.  It 
was  held  that  the  schooner  was  right  in  holding  her  course,  and  that 
the  steam-tug  was  alone  to  blame.  (2) 

The  owners  of  the  ship  claiming  damages  must  jtrove  that  the  other 
ship  was  in  the  wrong.  (3) 

"Where  there  is  a  reasonable  doubt  as  to  whicli  party  is  to  blame, 
the  loss  must  be  borne  by  the  party  on  whom  it  has  fallen.  (4) 

The  want  of  a   proper  look-t)ut  is  a  culpable  neglect  on  board  a 

ship,  and  will  render  her  prima  facie  liable  for  damages  caiisei;  ahme  by 
her.   (5) 

Where  a  ship  receives  or  does  damage  on  account  of  negligence  or 
misconduct  of  those  on  board  of  another  ves.sel,  althfaigh  no  ct)llisi' n 
takes  place,  the  latter  vessel  is  liable  for  the  damage.  (0)

and  the  shij»  last  an(;horin,y;  is  liahh-  for  any  datna,L,'»'. 

A  vessel  which  having'  performed  her  own  duty  comes  info  im- 
mediate danj;er  of  collision  hy  the  wron,L;fnl  act  tif  another,  is  not  to 
lie  held  liahle  if  at  that   moment  she    uses  a  wron^-  niano-uvre.   (10) 

Where  one  ship  liy  improper  management  compels  a  second  ship  to 
do  daniii^e  to  a  third  vessel  tJie  lirst  ship  is  liahle  for  snch  ilamage. 
As  for  example  :  where  a  vessid  was  comjiellcd  hy  the  improper 
navigation  (»f  the  tirst  of  three  barges  to  ehfingo  her  cotirse  so  that  .slie 
ran  into  and  damaged  one  of  the  last  barges  oi  snch  tow,  t!ie  lirst 
barge  is  liable  for  such  daniagiss.  (11) 

A  steamer  in  a  dense  fog  is  bound  to  go  as  slow  as  it  is  [lossilile  for 
her  to  go  and  maintain  steerage  way.  (12) 

It  has  been  held  that  in  a  dense  fog  a  steam-vessel's  duty  is  to 
anchor  as  s(jon  as  circumstances  n'ill  permit.  (l.'J) 

.•\  steamer  running  in  a  fog  at  a  moderatt.'  rate  of  siu't-d  hearing 
another  steamer  whistling,  indicating  that  she  was  approaching,  and 
was  so  ii.vir  to  her  that  if  all  was  (piiet  they  would  have  })eeu  within 
hailing  distance,  is  bound  to  stop  her  engines  and  reverse  them  .so  as 
to  stop  her  own  motion,  and  she  ought  not  to  wait  until  they  are 
Mithin  sight  of  each  other,  (14) 

A  steamer  running  in  crowded  waters  in  the  day  time  ought  tolia\e 

a   look-out    forward    besides    the    olliiu'r    in    charge,    even    in    tine 
weather.  (15) 

A  vessel  close  hauled,  which  is  liound  to  keep  her  course,  may  lull 
us  close  to  the  wind  as  she  can  get  so  as  not  to  Itiose  her  headway, 
iiud  such  lulling  is  not  a  change  iu  her  course  which  will  render  her 
liable  for  a  collisi(jn  with  anotiier  vessel,  whose  (.luty  it  is  to  keep  out 
uf  her  way,  (16)

An  error  of  judj^nnont  on  tlic  ]>art  of  the  niastor  of  a  vessel  at  a

A  collision  between  two  vessels,  in  which  one  or  both  of  them  are 
to  Vdame,  without  the  waves,  or  wind,  or  dilliculty  of  navigation  con- 
tributing to  the  accident,  is  not  a  "  peril  of  the  sea,"  as  met«t  in  the 
J^xcoption  Clause  in  a  bill  of  lading.  (32) 

Where  a  collision  or  accident  is  causoil  by  the  faidt  or  negligence 
of  the  master  he  is  liable  to  his  owners  iov  the  damages.  (33)

COLLISIONS. 


The  master  and  crew  of  a  vessel  injured  by  collision  are  bound  to 
shew  ordinary  courajie  and  nautical  skill  in  endeavouring  to  .sav<i 
their  v  ^ssel  from  total  loss  and  the  other  ship  although  to  blame 
for  the  collision  will  not  be  liable  for  any  loss  which  might  have 
been  avoided  by  the  exercise  of  such  ordinary  skill  and  courage.(47) 

Where  a  vessel  not  carrying  the  proper  lights  collides  with  an- 
other, it  must  be  shown  that  the  accident  was  in  some  degree 
brought  about  by  such  neglect  before  any  greai  weight  can  attach  to 
the  point.   If  l)oth  vessels  are  lo  blame  the  loss  is  shared  pro  rata.(48) 

To  enable  a  v(?.ssel  lost  or  injured  by  collision  to  recovv.'"  damag(!S 
it  must  ap)>ear  that  the  accident  was  not  iii  any  way  owing  to  the 
negligence,  misconduct  cjr  want  of  skill  on  tlie  part  of  those  navi- 
gating such  vessel.   (4!)) 

Stratton  v.  CliaH'ey  et  al,  27  Q.  B.  r)l.'.,  was  as  follows  :  A 
schooner  while  approaching  Pi-esquisle  harbour  in  a  heavy  sea  and 
wind  became  unmanagoable  and  grounrled  on  the  north  side  of  the 
channel,  the  wind  being  southeily,  a  tug  with  a  raft  ran  in  soon 
afterwards,  keeping  as  near  the  south  side  of  the  channel  as  she 
could  and  going  at  a  fair  speed,  the  raft,  however,  was  driven 
against  and  sank  the  schooner.  The  tug  captain  did  not  know  the 
schooner  was  aground  and  ho  could  not  ha\e  stopped,  shortened  his 
tow-rope  or  slackened  speed  without  risking  the  loss  of  the  raft. 
The  schooner  contended  the  tug  had  broken  article  16  of  sec.  2  of 
27,  28  Vict.  cha{).  13,  which  enacts  '''  Unit  every  steamship  nhen  ap- 
proaching another  n/iip,  no  as  to  involve  risk  of  collision,  shall  slacken 
her  speeil."  The  court  however  held  that  it  came  under  article  19, 
which  enacts  '■^  that  in  obeifing  the  tides  regard  shall  he  had  to  all 
dangers  of  navigation,  and  to  any  sprcial  circnmstances  rendering  a 
dcviatio'i  from  them  verenfary  to  avoid  inimediutA  danger ;"  that  it 
was  a  question  for  the  jury  under  all  the  circumstances  to  say  whether 
the  tug  had  Iwen  guilty  of  negligence  and  that  the  evidence  war- 
ranted a  verdict  that  she  had  not. 

In  an  action  for  collision  it  appeared  both  vessels  were  beating  to 
windward  close-hauled,  one  on  the  starboard  tack  and  the  other  on 
the  port  tack,the  latter  it  was  admitted  did  what  was  best  as  soon  as 
she  saw  the  former's  lights  but  the  complaint  was  that  she  should

th»!re  was  a  haze  on  the  water  at  IIk-  time.  Tho  court  dinteted  that 
if  those  on  tin-  vessel  on  ihi'  port  tark  nse<|  (-vei y  nieaiiH  in  their 
power  to  prevent  a  collision  after  tliey  saw  (hft  lijihts  they  would 
not  he  liahle,  nor  if  (hey  helieved  it  was  simply  an  accident  withciut 
negligence  on  the  defendant's  j)art.   (5(1) 

On  tlie  27th  April   1880,  tlu*  seiiooner  M.  C  lfp)»er  was  moored 
at  the   west  side  of  the  dock  at  Port  Kingsville,  on  Lake  Erie,  and 
had  her  anclior  dropped  some   distanct*  straight  out  f<'oni   the  east 
side  of  the  dock,  and  without  a  liuoy  on  same.     The  steamer  "  Erie 
Belle"  came  into  the  ea.st  side  of  the  wharf  safely,  an<l  in  hacking 
out  she  ran  foul  of  the  anchor  of  the  "  Up|)er."     The  erew  of  the 
latter  were  hauling  on  tiie  cal>le  attached  to  the  anchor  all  the  time 
the   Erie    Belle  was  there.      The  court   found   that  it  was   not  cus- 
tomary for  ves.sels  to  huoy  their  anchors,  as  piopellors  wtue  liable  to 
get  the  buoys  in  their  wheels,  but  that  the  anchor  should  be  straight 
out  from  the  side  of  the  dock   the  vess*;!  was  on  so  as  not  to  crowd 
lier  on  the  dock  when  hauling  out  ,  but  that  in  this  case,  as  the  crew 
of  the  "  Upper  "  were  hauling  on  the  cable,  the  treml  of  same  should 
have  indicated  the  position  of  the  anchor.      It  was  also  held  that  the 
Erie  Belle  should  have  backed  out  the  way  she  went  in. 

The  court  decided  that  each  was  to  blame,  an('  divided  the  dam- 
age between  them.  Damages  as.sessed  at  SI, 000. 00,  as  the  Erie 
Belle  had  to  run  ashore  to  prevent  foundering.  (51; 

In  Brace  v.  The  Union  Forwarding  Co.,  32  Q.  B.  4.'{  ;  actionfor 
damages  occasioned  by  defendants'  steamer  breaking  plaintiff's  boom 
and  .scattering  his  log.s.  Tlie  plaintifi' charged  as  negligence  that  tin; 
.steamer  came  to  within  150  yards  of  the  boom  before  .slackening 
speed,  and  then  did  not  revcase  her  engine.  The;  defendants  sliowed 
that  they  had  sent  notice  to  the  plaintiff  tlie  night  before,  that  the 
boat  would  be  down  next  day,  bt^ing  the  1 5th  April,  and  the;  first 
trip  of  the  season  ;  that  it  was  the  custom  to  have  the  boom  open 
for  her  without  keeping  her  waiting,  which  she  could  not  safely  do, 
as  there  was  a  rapid  just  below  ;  that  when  the  accident  hapj)cnea 
the  plaintiff  was  controlling  the  boom  with  a  rope,  instead  of  letting 
it  swing  open  freely,  and  that  until  the  boat  came  in  sight  -half  a 
mile  off — the  plaintiti"  did  not  begin  to  get  the  rope  ready  to  sink  it

Siilvfmc  is   (lie  service  wliicli  volunteer   adxciiturcrH,  of  their  own 
accord,  jcmler  to  the  owners   in  the   resene  of  property  from  Iohh  or 
(hxniai,'e  at  sea,  there  heini^  no  iei,'al  duty  or  contract  to  yivc;  the  sor 
vices,  and   tlicy  are  hound   to  restore  the    Lfoods  to  tlic  owners,  first 
liavinii  a  lien  for  their  reward.   (1) 

It  is  the  duty  of  all  ships  to  L;i\e  aid  to  others  in  distress  if 
possihle.   (■-') 

The  crow  as  such  cannot  hccoiue  salvors,  as  it  is  tl'eir  a;,'r(vd  duty 
to  protect  the  ship  through  all  dangers,  to  the  exicn'  of  their  entire 
possible  services,  hut  where  a  merchant  vessel  is  for  the  purpose  of 
saving  life  l)ona  title  aliandoned  at  sea  hy  the  order  of  tho  captain, 
in  consequence  of  damages  received,  the  ^eaman's  contiact  is  at  an 
ond,  and   he  can  then  hccome  a  salvor.   {.'?) 

The  case,  of  tho  ship  Lo  IMaireau,  as  cited  in  an  America«  •»ise,  is 
worthy  of  nuMition.  'Vhv.  ship  collided  with  a  Spanish  .sixty -four 
gun  ship  al)out  10  o'clock  at  night,  and  was  damaged  .so  .seriously 
that  hefore  day-light  there  was  three  and  a  half  fi-et  of  water  in  the 
holii,  and  the  crew  ahandoning  lier  went  aboard  the  Spani.^h  ves,sel 
save  one,  an  Irishman.  He  clearing  away  the  wreck,  ])artially 
lightened  the  essel,  and  putting  her  before  i\\v.  wind,  lioistxnl  a 
signal  of  distn-.ss,  in  conseipience  of  which  tlu;  Lt;  IMaiwau  was 
picked  up  l»y  an  American  and  carried  into  poi-t.  The  Irishmans 
claim  as  a  salvor  was  allowed  by  tho  Supreme  Court  of  the  United 
Stat(^s,  although  resisted  1)y  tlio  owner  of  the  ves.sel.   (4) 

Oa])turo  by  an  eiy^niy  discharges  the  crew  from  their  duty  to  their 
employers,  .so  that  in  case  of  recapture  by  tlie  sailor.s  they  art*  con 
aidered  as  sah'or.s.    (■">)

is  allowed  to  sei/e  the  first  (i|)|inrtniiity  (if  leavinj;  the  ship  if  his

part  of  the  crew  al)andoned  her  in  a  small  lioat  leavinj,'  the  pilot  on 
lioard  drunk,  and  one  of  the  passengers  takiiij,'  eliai";,'o  of  th(!  vessel 
carried  her  safely  into  port,  he  was  allowed   sal\a<,'e.   (S) 

A  pilot  while  in  eharjie  of  a  vessel  is  not  entitled  to  salvaife 
e.\<.'(|»t  in  a  very  exceptional  «"ase,  hut  if  not  alreaily  engaged  he  is 
not  bound  to  pilot  a  vtjssul  in  distress  at  ordinary  rates.   (9) 

A  tug  is  not  l)ound  to  »  nder  assistance  to  a  vessel  in  distress  at 
ordinary  towing  rates,  but  if  wliilt!  towing  a  vessel  ('ircunistances 
arise  of  so  dangerou.s  a  nature  that  would  justify  the  tug  to  let  go 
for  her  own  .safety,  and  she  still  holds  on  and  save.s  the  ship  she  is 
entitled  to  salvage.   (10) 

The  large  amounts  that  w»'re  formerly  allowed  for  salvage  are  not 
now  given,  and  in  all  «a.ses  tin;  courts  take  into  coiisidercation  tlie 
(ircunistances  of  the  cas(!and  the  real  value  of  the  services  rendered. 
Where  parties  an;  under  contract  and  legally  bound  to  do  services 
of  the  kind  given,  the  court  will  only  allow  for  extraordinary  ser- 
vices what  the  encouragement  of  enterpiise  really  reipiires.   (11) 

The  light  to  salvage  as  a   rule  depends  on  personal  ser\  ice,  and  a 

person  who  merely  hired  and   sent   laborers  to  unload  a  ship,  or  one 

of   a   ship's    crow    who    r<!fnsed    to     volunteer,    was    not    allowed 
.salvage,   (ll*) 

Where  a  whole  ship's  crew  volunteer  tf)  go  on  salvage  duty  the 
court  will  allow  those  who  were  compelled  to  stay  behind  to  manage; 
thoir  own  ship,  a  .share  in  the  .salvage  money,  taking,  however,  into 
con.sidcration  that  tho.so  who  really  encountered  the  dangers  are 
entitled  to  a  larger  share,   (l.'i)

Except  as  above,  she  does  not  warrant  to  hvh\<s,  the  tow  to  its  des- 
tination under  all  circuinstances  and  at  all  hazards,  but  merely  to  use 
her  best  endeavoi's  for  that  purpose,  anil  she  is  relieved  from  respon- 
sibility if  she  be  jjrevented  by  ai^cidents  or  greater  force  not  eon- 
tciiiplated  which  lenders  the  perfornuuiei;  of  her  contract  im-

She  is  not,  however,  relieved  bc'cause  slie  is  interru))ted  or  her  task 
cannot  be  completed  in  the  niannei'  originally  intended.   (3) 

If,  in  tJie  discharge  of  her  task,  by  reason  of  the  sudden  violencie 
of  the  winds  or  Avaves  or  other  acci(|eiits  the  tow  is  placed  in  danger, 
and  the  tug  incurs  risks  and  performs  duties  not  originally  contem- 
plated, she  is  eiititleil  to  extra  pay  foi'  such  extra  work  if  tin'  ship  be 
saved,  and  she  is  bound  to  ]>erforiii  such  extra  services,  unless  it  is 
impossible  for  her  to  do  so.  (4) 

The  tug  has  the  same  duties  and  authority  over  the  ship  while  in 
tow  as  a  pilot  would  have  if  on  lioard.   (■'">) 

Of  coiwse  where  there  is  a  pilnt  cither  aboard  the  tug  or  tow,  both

Tlio  tii}»  is  IIm?  ai^ijiit  of  thf  sliip  in  tow  utxl  lialilt*  to  her  owner  for 
uiiy  damage  oucuHiuncd  tlirough  the  fiuilt  of  th«  tug  alone.  (7) 

The  owuei'H  of  the  Hhip  in  tow  are  in  the  first  case  liuble  to  third 
persons  suffering  damages  liy  tlie  acts  of  either  the  ship  or  tug,  hut  if 
the  damage  is  (laused  by  the  tug's  fault  they  have  u  right  to  recover 
)>ack  from  her.  (8) 

In  case  of  accidentia,  darkness  or  thick  weather  can  only  be  au  ex- 
cuse for  thos(!  wh(»  have,  exercised  such  extra  caution  as  prudence  and 
the  circumstances  recpiire.  (9) 

No  vessel  can  lay  aside  ordinary  caic  under  ordinary  circumstances, 
or  extraiirdinary  care  where  th(!  circumstances  are  extraordinary, 
without  making  lierself  Iiabh>.  to  answer  for  any  thimage  that  ensues 
in  constMjuence.  (10) 

Strict  lookout  is  one  of  tite  most  important  things  to  be  kept* 
especially  when  a  vessel  is  under  way.  (11) 

Steamers  should  always  reverse  tlieir  engines  when  there  is  danger 
of  a  collision  ;  easing  them  down  is  not  enough.  (12) 

A  ship  that  was  drifting  witli  the  wind  and  t'  dragging  her 
anchor,  had  to  pay  for  the  damages  caused  ))y  her  t  Hiding  with 

another   vessel,  on  the  ground   that  she  should  have   let  go  a  second 
anchor.     If  the  anchor  had  been  too  light  it  would  liethe  same.  (13) 

It  is  of  the  greatest  importance  that  a  seaman  should  as  a  matter 
of  course  stick  to  and  keep  the  rules  nf  the  road  whenever  they  are 
applicable  to  the  circumstances,  and  he  shoidd  take  it  for  granted  that 
the  other  vessel  is  going  to  »lo  so  too.  (14) 

A  vessel  under  tow  is  considered  as  a  steam  vessel  while  being 
towed.  (If)) 

It  is  the  duty  of  a  tow  to  follow  directly  in  the  (•ourse  of  the  tug, 
and  the  tug  therefore  is  not  liable  for  damages  sustained  by  a 
schooner  which  sheered  out  of  the  course  and  struck  a  rock.  (16) 

It  is  the  duty  of  a  ship  or  tug  towing  another  to  keep  a  look-out 
for  both. 

It  is  the  duty  of  a  ship  towed  by  another  to  follow  exactly  all  her 
luanceuvies.

A  sailing  vostiol  in  danger  fmni  a  stoamcr  towing  anntlior  vosscl 
should  «lo  what  sho  can  to  prevent  an  accident,  though  tho  fault 
is  entirely  that  of  the  other  ships.  (17) 

A  tug  under  cf>ntract  to  tow  a  ship  is  not  entitled  to  salvage  pay 
for  rescuing  tho  ship  from  «langer  hiought  about  by  the  tug's  negli- 
gent performance  of  her  towage  contract.  (IH) 

A  tug  which  receives  luwitive  iiistructiuna  from  th<!  ship  she  is 
towing  as  tf»  the  course  she  is  to  steer  is  bound  to  follow  siich  direc- 
tions, ami  is  not  liable  if  the  ship  gets  into  trouble  in  conse- 
quence. (19) 

Where  a  tug  eontraets  with  a  vessel  to  tow  her  to  a  certain  i)laco 
it  is  inferred  that  sho  is  to  be  towed  through  to  her  destination 
with  due  and  reasonable  diligence,  and  the  tug  cannot  drop  or  desert 
the  vessel  and  pick  her  up  again  without  special  agreement ;  and  it 
is  no  defence  for  a  tug  captain  to  contend  that  his  could  not  perfonn 
his  contract  because  the  tug  was  un;i\oidably  frozen  in.  (20) 

Where  a  tug  agrees  to  tow  a  vossej  from  one  }»lacc  to  another  for  a 
fixed  sum,  the  tug  cannot  elaiin  extra  pay  in  respect  of  a  delay  which 
occurs  during  the  passage  without  any  fault  on  tho  jmrt  of  the  tug  or 
the  tow.  (21)

111  marine  policies  seaworthiness  means  that  the  hull  of  the  vessel, 
the  master,  the  i-rew,  the  tackle,  sails,  rig>;iii^',  stores  and  oiitlit  gener- 
ally are  sin-h  as  make  her  in  every  res|iee(  reasoiiahly  tit  for  the 
proposed  voyage.    (.'54) 

A  vossol  may  he  seaworthy  for  ])ort  or  river  navigation,  and  not  :-.> 
for  ail  outside,  voyage.  (;!.')) 

AVhere  the  insureis  take  the  risk,  \.  ith  full  inl'oriiiation  as  to  the 
class  of  th(!  ship  and  the  trade  she  is  to  he  in,  the  owner  and  masti'i' 
are  only  reipiired  to  make  her  as  seaworthy  as  is  reasoiiahly  ])racticahle 
with  such  a  ship.  (."iO) 

A  ship  may  be  lui.scaworthy  hy  heing  overloaded  or  impro])erly 
loadc  1.  (37) 

Where  a  master  is  gros.sly  ignorant,  the  shii>  '■"'  ""'t  si'aworthy.  (3^) 

Where  a  pilot  is  necessary  a  ship  is  not  seaworthy  wdiieh  goes 
without  one.  (39) 

Stores  and  supplies  for  the  voyage  are  as  much  a  recpiiremeiit  fur 
seaworthiness  as  the  staunehness  (if  the  hull  itself.  (10) 

Where  a  ves.sel  was  sutTioicntly  manned  or  ])rovisioned  at  the  start. 
hut  owing  to  accident  or  otherwise  her  crew  becomes  .short  fir  lici 
provisions  scarce,  a  deviation  to  fill  up  either  will  not  lireak  the  in

Where  a  master  liiids  his  i)oit  of  discharge  ice-boun<l  or  otherwi.-c 
blocked  so  that  he  cannot  enter,  ainl  he  makes  for  the  neare.st  port  to 
wait  until  his  own  is  open  or  for  orders,  the  deviation  will  not  void  tlu' 
insurance.  (42) 

In  case  of  acciih^nt  it  is  the  master's  duty  ti>  u.so  all  ri^isonalih 
means  to  save  the  ship  and  good.s,  and  in  case  of  an  abandonment,! lie

Where,  iu  eons('<|ueuce  of  oue  fif  the  perils  insured  ai,'aiust,  a 
vessel  is  forced  to  leave  her  pr^pif  course,  such  ,-leviatiou  is  not  oue 
which  will  void  the  policy.   (17) 

A  vessel  is  chartered  at  "A"  to  Lfo  to  "  J>  "  and  take  a  cariro 
from  thence  to  "  C,"  and  the  fri'iLfht  is  insured  liefore  she  leaves 
''A."  The  vessel  is  lost,  or  daniaged  so  much,  hefore  she  reaches 
"  I),"  or  receives  the  cargo,  that  the  charter  is  lnokcii,  and  she  loses 
all  chance  of  getting  the  cargo  and  earning  the  freight.  The  in 
suranco  company  is  liable  for  the  freight.   (4S) 

A  master  who  does  not  sail  on  the  day  warranted  in  the  insurance 
policy  is  liable  for  such  neglect,  and  the  policy  itself  is  thereby  ren" 
dered  void. 

Where  a  master  actually  heaves  up  his  anchors,  oi*  unmoors,  and 
starts  on  the  intended  voyage,  but  is  driven  back  liy  bad  weather  or 
otherwise,  the  condition  in  the  policy  to  start  on  that  day  is  ful- 
tilli'd,  provided  the  master  clearly  iiitiiided  to  kee|i  on  his  voyage 
when  he  started  and  his  ship  was  in  complete  i-eadiness  to  do 
so.   (41») 

The  right  of  the  underwriters  of  a  lost  shijt  for  damages  against  a 
wi()iig-do(!r  is  merely  to  make  the  same  claim  that  the  insured  might 
have  made.  (.^U)

Every  fact  in  the  knowledge  of  the  insurcMl  which  increases  tlie 
ordinary  risk,  and  which,  if  it  were  matle  known,  would  increase  the 
premium,  must  hu  connnunicated  to  the  iiisuranci;  company  ;  and 
wlien  insuring,  the  insured  had  notice  of  a  violent  storm  at  the  port 
of  tleparture  about  eleven  days  after  tlie  vessel  left,  hut  only  in- 
formed the  in.surance  company  generally  that  there  had  heen 
"  blowing  weather  and  severe  storms  "  on  the  coast  since  tin;  vessel 
had  sailed  it  was  held  that  I'lis    concealment   broke  the  j)olicy.  (i)r>) 

The  insured  is  not  bound  to  make  known  to  the  underwriters  any 
lircumstances  relating  to  risks  which  the  hitter  do  not  insure 
against  ;  as,  for  example,  risks  which  are  excluded  either  l)y  an  ex- 
press or  implied  warnuity.  (■*»•'•) 

The  insured  is  Itouiul  to  employ  a  captain  of  competent  nautical 
skill  and  of  general  good  character.    (.")?) 

In  calculating  the  value  of  a  vcs.sel  under  an  open  })olicy  allow-

Tn  calculating  whetlier  a  vessel  can  be  rei)aired  for  iialf  her

the  bargain  lias  bi-cn  made.  Silenet>,  if  ii  inoduoes  a  false  impression 
(111  the  mind  nf  the  purchaser,  and  lulls  him  intn  security  in  relation 
to  a  concealed  defect,  whore  he  cannot  aiMpiire  knowledge  for  himself, 
may,  in  .some  instances,  he  considered  fraud. 

"3.  The  acts  of  the  agent  in  making  or  (wt.upletiiig  a  bargain 
within  his  authority  are  those  of  the  principal.  A  nod,  a  shake  of 
the  head,  or  any  motion  or  expressive  gesture  intended  to  induce  the 
jmrchaser  or  the  «ellei',  resjiectively.  to  ludieve  in  the  existence  of  a 
uoii-existing  fact,  and-  which  might  intluence  the  ]»rice  of  the  thing 
to  be  sold,  will  be  suliicieiit  to  s(!t  aside  the  contract. 

"4.  Any  vendor  of  a  ehattel,  knowing  that  the  buyer  relies  upon 
liis  advice  or  judgment,  thereby  warrants  to  the  l)uyor  that  neither 
the  seller,  nor  any  agent  employed  by  him  in  the  transaction,  know.s 
the  existence  of  any  fact  concerning  the  thing  sold,  which  would,  to 
his  knowledge,  destroy  the  buyer's  inducement  to  buy. 

"  n.  One  who,  under  an  order,  manufactures  an  article  for  a  par. 
ticular  purpose,  warrants  by  the  sale,  that  it  shall  be  reasonably  Ht 
for  that  particular  purpose. 

"  6.  The  vendor,  if  also  the  mainifacturer  of  an  article,  warrants  on 
its  sale  to  the  Iniyer  that  it  is  free  from  any  latent  defect,  rot  dis- 
closed to  the  buyer,  arising  from  the  jirocess  of  iniuiufacture,  and 
from  the  use  of  inferior,   lefective  or  ini|>roper  materials. 

"  7.  Any  specific  article  .sold,  of  which  the.  (pialities  may  be  known 
by  inspection,  and  which  can  be  inspected,  is  warranted  only  to  tht^  pur. 
cliiiser,  if  his  natural  vigihiiice  has  been  lulled  by  artilice,  or  he  has 
Ik'cu  thrown  off  his  guard.  If  the  liuyer  is  under  a  mistake,  of 
which  the  vendor  is  ignorant,  or  of  whidi  he  is  aware,  and  the  vendor 
does  nothing  directly  or  indirectly  to  bring  it  about,  there  is  no 
warranty. 

"  8.  Ordinarily  the  law  will  not  assist  a  purchaser  to  rescind  a  con. 
tract  on  the  ground  of  fraud,  wlien>  be  has  not  suffered  injury  and 
'lainage,  nor  when  the  fraud  was  known  before  the  bargain,  and  both

PART  I. -NECESSARIES. 

Altliough  tlie  owners  are  bound  by  the  master's  contracts  for 
fitting  out  and  provisioning  the  ship,  the  j)ersons  furnisliing  supplies 
for  such  purposes  have  no  maritime  lien  on  the  ship  for  same.  (1) 

A  master  may  borrow  money  on  the  owner's  credit  for  cash  paid 
out  and  repairs,  which  are  necessary  to  enal>le  the  shijt  to  jjrosecutc 
her  voyage.  (2) 

But  the  master  has  no  such  power  as  above,  where  lie  can  com- 
municate with  his  owners,  or  his  owner's  agents  without  the  delay 
being  seriously  against  his  owner's  interests.  (3) 

To  prove  a  claim  against  the  owners  under  above  cases  the  claimant 
must  show  the  clear  or  jtresunied  necessity  of  the  repairs  or  supplies 
that  such  repairs  or  supi)lies  were  reasonably  tit  and  proper  under  the 
circumstances.   (4) 

There  must  be  nothing  in  any  df  above  ta.ses  against  the  ordiiiary 
presumption  that  the  master  acted  under  his  owner's  authority.  (5) 

A  master  may  borrow  money  on  the  credit  of  his  owners  to  pro- 
cure supplies  necessary  for  the  use  of  the  ship  while  wind-bound.  (6) 

A  lender  is  not  required  to  see  to  application  of  the  money  lent, 
but  he  must  [)rove  the  necessity  of  the  loan  at  the  time  it  was  made, 
as  otherwise  the  master  will  alone  be  liable.  (7) 

A  master  has  no  authority  to  borrow  money  on  the  owner's  credit

to  pay  for  repairs  or  supplies  ahviuly  pruvitled  on  i:rc(lit,  or  to  pay  a 
(lobt  for  wliic'li  tho  owner  was  alreaily  Jiablo.   (8) 

In  the  United  States  tlie  master  has  authority  to  borrow  money 
to  pay  for  necessaries  to  be  bought  or  already  purchased.   (U) 

Where  a  steamboat  is  in  the  possession  of  the  mortga,<:;ees,  who 
navigated  her  for  their  own  benetit  to  secure  their  advances,  and  she 
was  wrongfully  taken  po.ssession  of  by  the  captain,  who  received  the 
'jrotits  arising  from  her  for  his  own  use,  the  owner  is  not  liable  for 
goods  furnished  for  the  vessel  while  in  <he  wrongful  possession  of 
the  captain.  (10) 

In  an  action  for  goods  supplied  for  a  vessel  at  the  request  of  the 
master  of  the  vessel,  it  must  be  proved  that  the  owners  employed 
the  master.   (11) 

Where  a  vessel  is  chartered  the  owner  is  not  liable  for  supplies 
furnished  to  the  person  chartering  or  at  the  request  of  his  agents, 
unless  there  is  an  express  agreement  to  that  effect  Ijetween  the 
owner  and  charterer.  (12) 

Where  stewards  of  vessels  contract  to  furnish  certain  supplies,  no 
abi?olute  rule  can  be  laid  down  as  to  the  liability  of  the  owners  for 
same.  Each  case  mu.st  depend  upon  its  own  facts.  Where  the 
merchants  supplying  the  goods  knew  of  the  contract  the  owners 
would  not  be  liable  ;  but  otherwise  he  would  be  liable,  if  the  mer- 
chant understood  the  .stewards  were  acting  as  the  owner's 
agents.  (13) 

A  person  buying  a  ship  is  not  liable  for  necessaries  delivered  after 
the  transfer,  even  if  they  were  ordered  by  the  former  owner  or 
master  before  the  sale. 

A  creditor  has  a  double  remedy  ))y  proceeding  either  against  the 
ma.ster  who  made  the  contract  or  the  owner  for  whom  it  was  made. 

Where  a  person  at  the  retjuest  of  the  managing  owner  of  a  vessel 
makes  certain  repairs  to  her  not  knowing  at  the  time  that  some  other 
parties  owned  shares  in  her  all  the  owners  are  jointly  liable  for 
such  repairs.  (1-t) 

Where  one  part-owner  of  a  ship  takes  possession  of  her  and  expends

All  civilized  nations  ret-ognize  tho  validity  <»f  niaritimo  liens,  and 
will  enforce  same  when  declared  l»y  a  foreign  court.  ( 1 ) 

A  ves.sel  attached  to  a  wharf  l)y  the  usual  fastenings  cannot  be 
seized  for  the  rent  of  the  wiiarf.   {'2) 

A  vessel  seized  for  breach  of  the  revenue  laws  liaving  been 
replevied  from  the  collectoi',  the  writ   of  replevin  was  set  aside,   {'i) 

Diligence  in  ent(a'ing  and  prosecuting  a  suit  to  judgnwnt  is 
rewarded  by  the  Maritime  Court  by  being  allowed  priority.  (4) 

Liens  for  wages,  master's  disbursements,  pilotage,  towage,  .salvage, 
iiiid  bottomry  all  come  in  under  the  general  rule  that  the  last  in 
time  is  the  tir.st  to  be  paid,  if  then-  is  not  enough  to  pay  all,  although 
there  are  exceptions  to  this  rule. 

The  chief  reason  for  the  rule  being,  that  tlie  last  claimants  were 
necessarily  instrumental  in  saving  the  .ship  and  cargo  for  the  former 
ones.    (.")) 

Seaman's  wages  are  always  favored  by  the  i-ourt,  and  iiavii 
prioi'ity   over   all    other  claims,  notwithstanding    which  liecame  due 

tilst.    ((i) 

.V  masters  wages  and  disbursements  come  after  the  sailors' 
wages,  and  are  before  all  other  claims,  even  where  the  master  is 
|)art-owner,  except  claims  which  he  ha.s  made  himself  liable  for  as 

master.   (7) 

.\  m.aster's  claims  therefore  come  after  a  mortgage  if  he  has 
ItoiMid  his  own  shares  in  sam(\   (S) 

Tjiens  for  pilotage  and  towage  being  generally  the  last  claims 
incurred,  are  usually  allowed  after  wages.  (9)

Liens  for  ilanmges  sustained  by  collision  have  priorty  over  wages, 
pilotage,    towage,   salvage,  mortgages,   anil  hottomry  bonds.  (11) 

A  noted  writer  on  Merchant  Siiipping  ranks  liens  in  the  following 
order  : 

"  1.    Wages  of  the  mariners  subject  to  sul)8equent  .salvage. 

"  2.  I)amag(f  and  salvage  claims  subj(!ct  to  subsequent  but  not 
jirior  wages  of  which  precedence  is  taken. 

"  .{.  The  wages  and  disbursemcnits  of  the  master,  , 

''  4.  The  Bottomry  bond  holder. 

"  5.  The  possessory  lien  for  necessaries  supplied  by  a  shipwright, 
ac<|uired  subsequently  to  the  bond. 

"  6.  Mortgagee. 

"  7.  Claim  for  n(!ce.ssaries  enforced  by  statute  and  liy  process  in 
the  Admiralty  Court."  (12) 

Pilotage  and  towage  bills  usually  come  after  wages  and 
bottomry.   (13) 

In  ca.ses  of  general  average,  owners  of  cargo  who  have  a  liqui- 
dated claim  f <  r  adjusted  contribution  against  the  ship  have  no  lion 
on  her  for  same  u  vder  the  law  Maritime.  (14) 

A  master  can  in  cases  of  general  average,  enforce  a  lien  on  the 
freight  for  the  contributions  of  the  owners  of  the  cargo.   (15) 

A  lien  on  a  ship  covei-s  the  freight,  and  a  lien  on  a  cargo  for  tlic 
use  of  the  ship  also  extends  to  the  freight.   )1G)

The  Inland  liloyds  is  an  as.sociation  of  lake  underwriters,  com- 
])risiiig  fi'oni  year  to  year  tho.se  companies  that  subscribe  in  defraying 
the  expenses  of  inspection,  classification  and  registry  of  lake  vessels. 
The  li(\gistftr  is  designed  exclusively  for  the  use  of  these  companies 
in  the  prosecution  of  lake  insurance,  and  not  to  be  promulgated  to 
the  public. 

By  tlie  Inland  Lloyds  lake  vessels  are  divided  into  three  classes, 
viz.:  A,  l>  and  00  (ciphers,  with  five  grades  to  A  and  three  to  B,

IH7H,  and  also  -lann  iry,  IS^^O,  with  the  addition  of  u  lon<ritudinal

of  vessel,  runnin<r  from  the  iron  hand  at  tVame  heads  to  helow  th« 
turn  of  hilj»e  of  vessels,  will  he  entitled  to  ela.ss  A  1*  ten  years  ;  th(>n 
Ali  threo  years,  then  A'2  threes  years,  at  which  time  it  will  he 
necessary  to  refasten  the  vessel  to  have  her  retain  AL'  class  loiiijer; 
from  A2  she  will  pass  to  Al'j,.  After  vessels  have  the  A2  class  it 
dej»ends  entirely  upon  the  repairs  and  condition  of  tlu;  vessel  as  to 
the  nuuiher  of  years  that  she  may  retain  Al!.',,  iil,  HI,',,  Hli.  At 
any  time,  however,  ves.sels  are  liahle  to  he  surveyed,  and  if,  from 
any  cause  whatever,  such  as  stranding,  collision,  dry  rot,  or  de- 
ticiency  in  material,  etc.,  a  vessel  is  found  unworthy  to  remain  in 
her  class,  she  will  he  |)laced  in  tht- class  to  which  she  is  entitled; 
hut  if  the  damages  or  defects  he  promjitly  made  good,  to  the  satis- 
faction of  the  inspector,  the  vessel  may  remain  in  her  da.ss  so  long 
as  she  is  considered  worthy  of  it  hy  the  inspector,  if  she  don't  pass 
out  of  her  class  by  limitation. 

Rule  2. — Vessels  huilt  under  Rule  1,  but  without  iron  band  ami 
diagonal  straps,  will  be  entitled  to  class  A I  for  seven  years,  AlA 
three  years,  A'2  two  years  ;  at  which  time  it  will  be  necessary,  if 
the  frames  are  sound,  to  refasten  the  vf^ssel  to  have  her  retain  an 
A2  .straight  cla.s.s,  as  the  salting  and  brining  resorted  to,  to  save  the 
timber,  weakens  the  iron  fastening  ;  if  refastenetl  and  in  good  con- 
dition otherwise,  she  will  be  continued  A2  straight  three  years 
longer  ;  then  A2^. 

Rule  3. — New  vessels  classing  AH  can  hold  that  class  seven
